Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XII

[Lore]

BT knows who they are, he’s met them, watched them play and knows enough about LOL to converse with them. His commentary on Friday night and pretend ignorance was more for the general Australian football fan who would view them as nerds, it was his subtle way of getting them into the spotlight. Good on him for giving them some air time.

Watch it again with the view that BT actually does know them and you will be surprised. I am not saying I agree with everything he said but I understand it.

If that's true then he just did them a massive disservice.

I agree. I thought what he did was a dick move.

I find the whole Mick and Carlton thing funny. You'd think they'd want to avoid talking about how badly they ****ed up by hiring him. Their failures aren't just on him.

Yeah possibly, or is the fact he gave them some airtime a positive at all?

I am not defending BT's actions at all, just discussing it.

 

[revival_mode]

not all publicity is good. i'd think the club would be more than a little annoyed

I reckon this shows why the AFL don't want anything to do with Tasmania.

 

[eth-dog]

What's the graph showing?

 

[ghostdog]

Socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. Tasmania is mostly at the most disadvantaged end.

Socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. Tasmania is mostly at the most disadvantaged end.

There's also more people in a typical Victorian municipality than there are in the entire state of Tasmania. The AFL is just following the money

The AFL website is weird with it's ins and outs. They've named Sam Gibson and Andy Otten as outs when they didn't play last week, and two of their emergencies as "ins".

Were they late outs last week? It did something funny with that last year when someone was a late out... the replacement player wasn't listed properly either.

Gibson was.

Collingwood continues to spiral and show just how out of touch it is.

As a massive metalhead, I just don't get it.

It's hardly a huge pump up song. battery would be far better

I assume the only band that the genius in charge of this initiative knew of who was sufficiently heavy for what they were going for was Metallica, and they just had a flick through song titles and decided that 'nothing else matters' [except Collingwood and/or winning] wouldn't be too difficult and imaginary a link to draw.

I'll give you one. I will sit you down in a dark room tied to a chair and make you all watch the 2nd quarter of the elimination final last year for 24 hours on 100 inch 4k high def TV with a 400 watt sound bar.

Not sure 4k makes much of a difference when channel 7 film in closer to 480p

Seek and Destroy is obviously the optimal Metallica pump up song for a crowd as you get both the adrenalin rush of heaviness/pace but also the sing-a-along aspects. Can't have no random footy crowd learn Battery.

Think Bucks n Eddie are good stand ins for Leper Messiah.

I just hope that the Dees start playing "Cowboys from Hell" at the start of their games.
